Based on a 4.0 scale, my grade for the Trumpster is an overall C+
I sincerely hope for, and suspect there will be, improvements for the entire administration.
Domestic Policy - B
- Doing OK, but not much to really shout about
Foreign Policy - A
- Nikki Haley is the bomb at the UN, telling it the way it needs to be told (A+)
- Support for Israel and just saying Jerusalem is the capitol and will move the embassy there (A)
- Withholding funds from countries not interested in US interests (A)
Fiscal Policy - C+
- Tax Reform - a decent start, but much more needs to be done (A)
- Cutting the deficit - I'm afraid it just ain't going to happen in any amount that will cut the federal debt (F).
- Attempting to bring back business to US (A)
- Cutting regulations (A)
- Repatriation of overseas business holdings (B)
Military - A-
- Promise to increase funding overall - (B) - I'll wait until it happens, and am confident it will be pretty good.
- Morale boost - A
- Using the military as it should be used, primarily to kill enemies and break things - A
Justice Department - C-
- Haven't seen anything yet from DOJ that impresses me (B-)
- Allowing Mueller to go on this long without any restrictions on what he can look for, not a witch hunt (D-)
Draining the Swamp - D
- I see some evidence of a few of the about 6,000 Obama appointees being kicked out, but nowhere enough yet. Get in gear, Trump! (C
- Firing Comey (F)
Comey deserved to be fired, but immediately, like on Jan 21, 2017, and not until four months later. Big mistake by Trump to wait so long, and he and the country are still paying for it politically.
Judges - B+
- Gorsuch - B - I still need to see how he rules, but am hopeful he is a true conservative constitutionalist.
- Federal Judgeships - (A-) - From I've heard they seem to be OK. Time will tell/
Getting Things Done - C+
- Head Republican - Whether you like it or not, that is one of the hats that the president wears for his party. Trump is the leader of the (R) party, and needs to improve on his leadership role somehow (C)
- Communications - like it or not, he gets his message across, for better or for worse. Just love Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She is the bomb there. (A
- Personality - My personal take that he needs to really work on that, and it seems like he is working on it, so I hope for improvement (D+).
